Do we know the cast time of Nourish?

Replenish just sounds like recycled 2T3. Not really new, but certainly potentially exciting, especially for Horde Ret Paladins, combining the mana gained from getting healed with the mana gained from the ticks of Rejuv with Seal/Judgment of Blood. Every Horde Retadin will be begging for a constant Rejuv.

The skills and talents here make it seem like druids will be even more versatile in WotLK. A new direct single-target heal that gets better with each HoT on the target will make tank healing/heroic healing even stronger, though it will create an interesting challenge of deciding based on encounter and group/raid makeup whether any given fight is a tree form fight or a cast form fight.

An additional bit to Nut's question, however, regarding Noursh and Gift of the Earthmother: For Nourish, it specifies that the HoTs have to cast by you, but GotEM seems to read as "all HoTs on the target". Is this simply early-alpha text being misleading, or is there actually a difference between the two? If you have two druids keeping up Lifebloom and Rejuv and a couple priests keeping up Renew, Nourish will be 30% (or 50%, if a 3-stack of Lifebloom counts as 3 HoT effects) cheaper. That will amount to be a pretty significant efficiency difference from raid to raid if so.

Also, extremely excited about Flourish. Yay for a one-button multi-target heal.

Stand back! I'm going to try SCIENCE!
